Ok, I’m going to stick a proverbial spanner in the works. Whta if your were offered $100, or whatever, to give an OBJECTIVE review? Would that still be wrong? Is it any different from sending you a mail asking you to review ‘my startup’ or Web 2.0 effort? It just might speed up the process, though. Not questioning your integrity Mike, just curious as to whether or not objectivity would be a motivator??

I’m not going to name names but plenty of celebrated bloggers mention they would give my company a write-up on their blog for $175.

For $175, I can hire some 8th graders to create shallow tech blogs that scrape from other blogs, comment spam popular blogs and promote my site with positive bias for 6 months.

But I’m not interested in PR, I’m interested in creating a compay with a solid foundation. Business operations that think Buzz & PR is the key to online success are short-sighted people. Buzz & PR is one of the few things in a startup that can wait….

How about if I offer you $100 to write about a competitor? Are they blacklisted?

100$

Mike you’ve finally made it big time. That has to be part of the reason why they are on the blacklist that is a major slight. On average do you know how many hits a website gets by being profiled by you? It is definitely worth more than 100$.

So, you don’t want to name them? C’mon Mike, you can tell us. We’ll keep it to ourselves. Honest.

Soâ€¦basically it takes around $100 to get to the top of your â€˜black/hit listâ€™…
